Looks very nice. Simple and easy to use.
High usability means high WAF and that is the key to keeping the HTPC in the living room

I fully agree with joystick's idea. Timishifting controls should work exactly the same way as video players. I guess that the information bar would show something different for timeshifted stuff than for complete recording.
My 5 cents, try to group the buttons around the middle 'live tv' one so that the most often used ones are the ones you reach with least key presses. For example I'm using more 'recorded TV' button than 'Timer' button. --> I'd put the 'recorded TV' button so that it's reached with one key press.
infinityloop, have you though about how the circular menu works when you have selected one of the buttons that aren't on the main axis (for example tv/on off)? Where does the selection move when you press left when ' tv/on off' is selected? It could go to middle or it could jump to bottom left. I think middle would make more sense.
